“…Additionally, Adams et al 26 showed that user performance for task completion and in the knowledge retention test after five weeks was improved by the use of a telepointer in an expert's explanation of an online scanning prove microscope (SPM) interface. However, the result of post-use preference was not matched with that of user performance-users preferred the explanation for the online SPM without a telepointer to that with a telepointer.…”

This study introduces the lens model approach to find a possibility of checking the relativity of computer-based applications in terms of users' responses and applies it to a real case with online bookstores. The case study was conducted in two viewpoints: the relationship between expected usability and user performance and the relationship between pre-use preference and post-use preference. The first is to examine how much users' perceptions of usability before actual use match performance measures in a real usability testing, and the second is to determine how strongly pre-use preferences and post-use preferences were connected. Through the lens model approach to this case study, we could discuss the possibility of predicting users' post-use responses for the online bookstore web sites without a direct usability testing. This approach can be utilized as bases for developing a simple heuristic method to quickly evaluate users' responses in a limited time and can be applied to various user interface and user experience issues such as decision-making in human-computer interactive systems.

Active Multimodal Presentations (AMPs) require judgements on which materials are placed in the various modalities, and how these are to be coordinated within a presentation which is effective both in its communicative intentions and as a support for learning. Gestures can be useful coordinators and they assume a variety of role in AMPs. These roles and the nature of gestures in relation to context and multimodal design decisions are discussed, together with the ways in which AMPs can be integrated within a communicative pedagogy. This aspect requires a closer examination of autonomous learning.

“…The benefit of telepointers is well-supported in the research on distributed collaboration where they are noted to help mediate conversation, support gestures, and communicate focus of attention between remote parties [1,12]. In Mischief, cursors are telepointers and help communicate attention and intention between instructor and students.…”

Mischief is a system to support traditional classroom practices between a remote instructor and a group of collocated students. Meant for developing regions, each student in the classroom is given a mouse and these are connected to a single machine and shared display. We present observations of teaching practices in rural Chinese classrooms that led to Mischief's design. Mischief's user interface, with which scores of collocated students can interact simultaneously, supports anonymous responses, communicates focus of attention, and maintains the role of the instructor. Mischief is an extensible platform in which Microsoft PowerPoint slides, used commonly in developing regions, are made interactive. We setup a controlled environment where Mischief was used by classrooms of children with a remote math instructor. The results from the study provided insight into the usability and capacity of the system to support traditional classroom interactions. These observations were also the impetus for a redesign of several components of Mischief and are also presented. These findings contribute both a novel system for synchronous distance education in an affordable manner and design insights for creators of related systems.
